Abstract: We have witnessed the evolution of medical informatics over the past six decades as we have moved into the new information era. It is clear that computers have had and continue to have a major influence on all of medicine. Computer Medical Databases: The First Six Decades (1950-2010) has been created by Dr Collen, the "Father of Medical Informatics", to detail the journey from the very basic medical informatics databases to the hugely complex information systems that are now commonplace in clinics and large hospital groups globally. The medical informatics literature for the last six decades has been so voluminous that it is unfeasible for any review to be completely comprehensive, but the historical material presented is representative of the vast changes that have been observed, and will serve as a useful bridge between medical informatics from the past into the future. The emphasis is on the development of medical informatics in the United States, but concurrent developments in Canada, Europe, and Japan have certainly influenced this field in the United States. As such, this book will be a superb addition to the library of health informaticians in the U.S. and around the world.

Contents: Chapter 1 Prologue: The Evolution of Computer Databases -- Chapter 2 The Development of Medical Databases -- Chapter 3 Processing Text in Medical Databases -- Chapter 4 Primary Medical Record Databases -- Chapter 5 Specialized Medical Databases -- Chapter 6 Secondary Medical Research Databases -- Chapter 7 Bio-Surveillance & Claims Databases -- Chapter 8 Medical Knowledge Databases -- Chapter 9 Medical Bibliographic Databases -- Chapter 10 Epilogue.

The debate over eHealth is alive as never before. Supporters suggest that it will result in dramatic innovations in healthcare, including a giant leap towards patient-centered care, new opportunities to improve effectiveness, and enhanced wellness and quality of life. In addition, the growing market value of investments in health IT suggests that eHealth can offer at least a partial cure for the current economic stagnation.

Abstract: The debate over eHealth is alive as never before. Supporters suggest that it will result in dramatic innovations in healthcare, including a giant leap towards patient-centered care, new opportunities to improve effectiveness, and enhanced wellness and quality of life. In addition, the growing market value of investments in health IT suggests that eHealth can offer at least a partial cure for the current economic stagnation. Detractors counter these arguments by claiming that eHealth has already failed: the UK Department of Health has shut down the NHS National Program for IT, Google has discontinued its Health flagship, and doubts have arisen over privacy safeguards for both patients and medical professionals. This book briefly explains why caregivers, professionals, technicians, patients, politicians, and others should all consider themselves stakeholders in eHealth. It offers myth-busting responses to some ill-considered arguments from both sides of the trench, in the process allowing a fresh look at eHealth. In addition, it describes how the technical failures of previous eHealth systems can be avoided, examines the legal basis of eHealth, and discusses associated ethical issues.

Contents: 1. The debate over eHealth -- 2. Definitions of eHealth -- 3. An introduction to the technological basis of eHealth -- 4. eHealth and me: The implications of the Net for health care relationships -- 5. Legally eHealth -- 6. EU support to eHealth and cost-benefits -- 7. No (e)Health without (e)Research -- 8. eHealth policy -- 9. The high-tech face of eHealth -- 10. The data-driven revolution of healthcare -- 11. eEducation and eHealth: a call for action -- 12. Conclusions.

Abstract: This book describes in detail the potential role of ICT and electronic systems, together with the application of Web 2.0 technologies, in telepediatrics and child health. Rather than simply proposing engineering solutions that may soon become outdated, it is designed to address those real needs that telemedicine and developers are asked to meet. The orientation of the book is very much toward primary care, and both low- and high-income settings as well as extreme or complex scenarios are considered. The first two sections of the book describe different fields of application, such as the community, the hospital, and children with chronic illnesses or special needs, and examine technical issues. The use of telemedicine in delivery of care in extreme rural settings and developing countries is then discussed, with attention also to major emergencies and humanitarian crises. The closing chapters consider the role of modern technologies in the education of caregivers who work with children. Child health is a crucial issue in both industrialized and developing countries. Telemedicine for Children's Health will be an excellent guide to the potential value of telemedicine devices in reducing the burden for children and parents and in offering quick and concrete solutions in low-resource scenarios.

Contents: 1. Perceived needs in paediatrics and children's health : overview and background -- Part I. Fields of application -- 2. The community -- 3. Telemedicine in acute settings and secondary care : the hospital -- 4. Management at home : the chronic child -- 5. Overtaking the distances : the child with special needs -- Part II. Technical issues -- 6. Connectivity, devices and interfaces : worldwide interconnections -- 7. Technology and social web : social worldwide interactions -- Part III. Complex scenarios and special settings -- 8. Rural and extreme rural settings : reducing distances and managing extreme scenarios -- 9. Telepediatrics in developing countries : a better care for children in low-income settings -- Part IV. e-Learning -- 10. eLearning: distant learning for health professionals that works with children -- 11. Health eDucation : teaching healthy lifestyles for a high quality of life -- 12. Conclusions.
